Chapter 273: Killed by the Cleansing Potion
Chapter 273 of "Kaidan Game Train: Abide Rule or Die!" begins with suspenseful moments: Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Killed by the Cleansing PotionThe competition over the Cube Columns this... Donât miss it!
Chapter 273: Chapter 273: Killed by the Cleansing PotionThe competition over the Cube Columns this time was even more intense than before; evidently, some players had fallen from the Magic Cubes and new ones had entered, resulting in ten people vying for three Magic Cubes simultaneously.
"Get lost!" The player who had previously released mechanical flies knocked another player off a Magic Cube and sent several more mechanical flies toward Xu Huo.
"Burn!" Xu Huo raised his hand, the lighter flipping open and shut rapidly with a few "tings," instantly igniting the mechanical flies with the gas they themselves sprayed out!
As the explosion burst forth, Xu Huo, clutching a piano wire, flew above the Magic Cube, his lighter transforming into a sword, slashing downward.
The Sword Qi Barrier flew through the smoke, clashing with a clear metallic sound, and then a long shadow swiftly stabbed out from the smoke, sticking to the sole of his shoe with incredible speed!
"Hey!" The player below laughed, "You havenât seen this gadget before, have you? My sticky dough can adhere to anything, including people. Once youâre stuck, unless I retract my prop, you wonât be getting away!"
After speaking, he pulled out a huge Pink Hat to shield his body, "Letâs see if you dare to set fire now!"
Xu Huo looked down at his feet, then kicked off his shoes.
The overly simple move made the player below pause, and then he threw out more dough. However, this time, Xu Huo was prepared and didnât give his opponent a second chance. Then he saw an electric egg beater extend from the brim of the giant hat:
"The virtue of a chefâPoisonous Egg Foam!"
The stirrer whirred into high speed, and from the empty metal rod flew a foul-smelling black foam.
Xu Huo coolly raised his shield to block the toxic foam and then took out a bottle of Cleansing Potion and poured it onto the Magic Cube, "To clean the kitchen stains, you must take the right approach. Who would still be using knives and swords to fight with pots and pans?"
Under the astonished gazes of the chef player, including the other players present, the Cleansing Potion effortlessly wiped the toxic foam splattered on the Magic Cube and began dissolving the sticky dough.
"No... it canât be..." The chef playerâs eyes were about to split, but that didnât change the fact that the dough was dissolving, and as he fell, he glared at Xu Huo, spitefully spitting out a black mechanical fly from his mouth.
Xu Huo, with quick reflexes, caught it with a glass bottle, and then his field of vision plunged into darkness.
A new beam of light brightened up, and not far from him, a bearded player laughed out loud, calling towards his position in the dark, "I didnât expect the Cleansing Potion to be used like that. That chef who fell will either die from the fall or from rage!"
"So, abilities and props arenât unsolvable either," said a teenage boy under another beam of light. "It seems that as long as you find the right method, many abilities that seem powerful can be easily dealt with."
The effect of the Cleansing Potion had also surpassed Xu Huoâs expectations. It was a gift from the game, and he thought that even if it did have an effect, it wouldnât act so quickly. Who knew it would directly doom a player, performing remarkably well.
Thirty seconds quickly passed again, and this time Xu Huo still hadnât switched places, whereas Yan Jiayu had collided with a long-haired female player on the other side. Moreover, both were unlucky because the Magic Cube they chose was a Sharp-edged Magic Cube that was impossible to stand on!
"Grab my hand!" Yan Jiayu shouted, seizing the female playerâs hand, who immediately clutched back, and in this way, they were both hooked around the Magic Cube, hand in hand.
Xu Huo retracted his Non-Knotting Thread, quietly waiting for the thirty seconds to pass.
After three position changes, the Smiley Face appeared. The question was, "Starting from when you entered the campsite of the Magic Cube Maze until reaching the maze, based on the closest Magic Cubes to both the left and right sides, how many Magic Cubes were floating in total?"
"Eleven!" Xu Huo answered immediately. When they had entered, Yan Jiayu knocked down a large number of Magic Cubes, so despite the large size of this Magic Cube camp, only the starting point and the area near the giant maze had any floating Magic Cubes for them.
"Answer correct!" the clown flew to Xu Huoâs side and gave him a Little Pink Hat. With a snap of his fingers, he appeared outside the Maze Gate, followed slightly later by Yan Jiayu.
"Thank goodness weâre out," she breathed a sigh of relief, "That Magic Cube Maze wasnât fun at all, just like doing a standing stake."
"Donât get too happy too soon," Xu Huo pointed at the plushies gathered outside, "theyâre still waiting here."
Yan Jiayuâs smile vanished in an instant, and she took a step back to negotiate with the plushies, "Letâs get this straight, Iâm really broke!"
"Compensation! Compensation! Compensation!" The plushies extended their fluffy claws and chanted in unison. As she stepped back once more, they swarmed her, hugging her and tugging at her clothes and hair, clamoring for compensation.
The little girlâs face got squeezed out of shape from the crowding, but the sound of rolling candy came to her rescue.
The plushies all turned their heads in unison.
"Iâll give you sugar, but letâs talk about the compensation," Xu Huo said, shaking the glass jar he was holding.
The plushies flowed off of Yan Jiayu like water and swarmed in front of Xu Huo, all sizes fixating their gaze on him.
Xu Huo doled out candy to each one and compensated them with a hundred White Notes each, and only then did the plushies disperse happily.
Running a dungeon sure isnât easy," he said as he patted the plush bunny on the head and handed over the jar of candy, "Go have fun."
Yan Jiayu, with her hair exploded into a mess, straightened her clothes and came over, "Iâll pay you back the money."
"No need," Xu Huo picked up the hat and handed it to her, "The question just now wasnât that hard. Given more time, other players could have figured it out too. We just got lucky by a fluke."
Yan Jiayu didnât say much and rummaged in her pocket, pulling out a White Magic Cube, "This seems to be a game reward."
Xu Huo took the Magic Cube, and as they were about to leave, a player with a beard appeared behind them, greeting, "Hold on, buddy, how about we become friends?"
"My name is Jin Zhao, a Level D Player, and my profession is a comedian," he introduced himself proactively and said, "Iâve already passed six Game Points and two random questions. I heard the challenges ahead are tougher than the earlier ones. How about we team up and look out for each other?"
Yan Jiayu looked at him oddly, "How did you get out so quickly? Weâve just come out."
Jin Zhao smiled, "Youâve only recently been promoted to Level D, right?"
Yan Jiayu nodded, "Iâve just reached Level D, and I havenât started running dungeons yet."
"Thatâs it," said Jin Zhao. "Time is not uniform across different dungeons, and some zones are influenced by special geological conditions, so their clocks are never accurate. When you encounter something like the Magic Cube Maze in a Different Space, time is no longer a concept in the usual sense."
"So the flow of time is different in different spaces?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "Can this really happen just a wall away?"
